Is Briggs 590560 made of rare metal?

Postby KE4AVB » Mon Apr 25, 2016 10:06 am

Customer was wanting a replacement for a governor spring bracket on his 09P engine. He and myself both were :shock: to find it lists for 21.40 and my cost was to be 17.12 plus SHC for a simple L-shape bracket just to hook a spring on. I can understand if it was handmade but its a stamped item.

Luckily I just reclaimed one last week.

That is a new engine series, service parts are still in their infancy. Once supply ramps up to meet demand prices should drop.

Kinda like $145 for a little tube of cream for the eczema on my hand. My shiny new Obamacare wouldn't cover it. But I found a coupon online and got it for $11.46.SOMETIMES those "too good to be true" things are true.
